Critique
“Kind of difficult to review this unit, both because it’s a Keychron and I love their products, and because this is a quite good product. If you are really reach, this is easily a 4 star product. But at this price I think it is a two. So I landed at 3.”

Praise
“The keys feel smooth and easy as you type. It's probably the best keyboard I've used. I've had a number of mechanical keyboards, but, none of them can compare to the v5 max. The feel of the thing while typing, is hard to not constantly repeat.”
